i am very sorry but my english is not very well , i do not used it from the school, that was be 40 years ago , i will try to write better :)
BEST for the beggining for seek drive EVEN it is not visable in bios and/or windows and make noise (drive cant find positioning heads) IS cut capacity and Victoria for windows is the best for that :), AFTER that ATOLA hdd capacity restore is needed. I think Dmitrij do not known what his program do :) simply refreshing geometry and bad track zero and click click noise stopped :) Thank you Dmitrij for your program, i do it with Drivepro but Atola is much better. I repaired many drives this way, this really working fine :) and is very simply and very, very fast :). After that must be empty smart ,,bad" sector table and make LLF to refresing posibility to positioning heads. Even legendary Drivepro from Micro House not doing this only ADM from Mitac does. May be Disk eraser from Micro 2000 but i do not known :(
After this data may not be lose:) and hdd starts works fine.
If i have hdd from factory without llf only ADM make it workable :)
Who knows or writes program to zeroing smart ,, bad" sector table ? or G list even P list ?
Please i am waiting :(
